I was thinking along the same lines. There is a condition called hyperacusis when sounds that are tolerated or tuned out by others are highly irritating or on the other end of the spectrum, obsessive to others. I think most of us have a touch of this or that, that in the full blown presentation would be an illness.
Many people are mildly annoyed by other people eating noisy food.
